Navigating Life’s Transitions

Childhood into teen years, adolescence into adulthood, midlife, and the twilight years. Carol is fascinated and passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s transitions. She aims to help her clients find purpose and meaning through their sessions, while also treating symptomatic anxiety, stress, or depression.  

Through her experience, she’s found that past trauma tends to surface around these junctions, and she is passionate about helping clients unpack this and explore its connection to the present as part of the healing process.

She also uses her background in nursing to help individuals understand how their mental state can affect their physical well being.

Exploring Dreams

Carol has also trained extensively in sandplay therapy and the exploration of dreams. She is keen to explore what they can teach us about our subconscious desires and inner worlds.
